Overview of Our Services

To ensure the quality of the Virtual Assistant Ninjas experience we have set up our terms of service for our mutual benefit. If you violate these rules it will mean you’ve broken the terms of service and this may result in a termination of your account.

Tasks are non-transferable. You cannot sell or give away tasks on your plan but you are more than free to buy a plan for your friends, family and loved ones. Your Virtual Assistant Ninjas account is also non-transferable. That means if one person signs up, you cannot transfer ownership of that account to another person.

All Virtual Assistant Ninjas plans are governed by a monthly package plan type with a 3 month minimum.  6 month and 1 year plans are also available. 

All Virtual Assistant Ninjas plans are monthly recurring subscriptions that can be canceled at any time with a 30-day notice.

Any agreement or attempted agreement between client and assistant, in connection with a service contract, requiring that payment be made outside of Virtual Assistant Ninjas shall constitute a material breach of this agreement and be subject to cancellation without refund.

Requests & Tasks

Each request (task) must be submitted by email. Each communication you have with your assistant should contain a defined task or tasks.

If you ever feel like your service could be better, you can contact us by  email at clientmanager@vaninjas.com. For a list of example tasks that we will and won’t do, please consult our “SERVICES” page. That should give you a good idea of what we’re able to accomplish and what we simply cannot do. Agreeing to these terms of service means you understand and agree to keep your tasks within the scope of our business.

Cancellations

Monthly memberships can be canceled at any time with a 30-day notice, though we are unable to prorate membership cancellations or refund due to unused time. All cancellation requests will go into effect at the end of your current monthly subscription. To cancel, just email your assistant or contact our Support Team: clientmanager@vaninjas.com and ask us to cancel your subscription.

Termination of Service

We reserve the right to terminate the service of a Virtual Assistant Ninjas client at any time — for any reason. Should this occur, we will give you a prorated refund at the standard monthly rate for any period for which you have already paid. That means that rarely and under great duress we may end our relationship with a client for any number of reasons including but not limited to the following:

  1. If the client is constantly requesting tasks outside the scope of their service plan and we’re unable to find a solution by scaling back the requests
  2. If the client is abusive to his/her assistant or any other Virtual Assistant Ninjas team member

Virtual Assistant Ninjas Terms of Service Non-solicitation Provision

I acknowledge that Virtual Assistant Ninjas has made substantial investments in recruiting, training and matching skilled Virtual Assistant Ninjas assistants with each of its members including me, and that Virtual Assistant Ninjas has a legitimate interest in earning a reasonable return on those investments. I also acknowledge that Virtual Assistant Ninjas has agreements with Virtual Assistant Ninjas assistants that protect this interest by requiring that Virtual Assistant Ninjas assistants obtain Virtual Assistant Ninjas’s prior written consent before accepting any direct engagement (whether as an employee, consultant, contractor or otherwise) with the Virtual Assistant Ninjas member to whom they were assigned. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, I agree that during my membership and for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my relationship with Virtual Assistant Ninjas for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, I shall not directly or indirectly solicit any Virtual Assistant Ninjas assistant who is assigned to me at that time or who was assigned to me within the six months preceding termination of my relationship with Virtual Assistant Ninjas to leave his or her employment with Virtual Assistant Ninjas and to work for me in any engagement directly or indirectly. Should any solicitation by me become a substantial factor resulting in a Virtual Assistant Ninjas assistant leaving Virtual Assistant Ninjas and accepting an engagement with me directly or indirectly without Virtual Assistant Ninjas’s consent, I agree to pay Virtual Assistant Ninjas as liquidated damages reasonably calculated to compensate Virtual Assistant Ninjas for its lost investments and not as a penalty of any kind, a one-time fee equivalent to one year of my monthly Virtual Assistant Ninjas subscription in effect at the most recent date that the Virtual Assistant Ninjas assistant had been assigned to me by Virtual Assistant Ninjas.
